Badging represents a long-term investment for a company. It is always essential for an employer to weigh the pros and cons of a material investment before embarking on the purchasing process. As the system is a proposed solution for improving human resources management, its advantages are closely linked to the specific needs of this department.
The data collected with a badging system make it possible to establish clarifications regarding the management of schedules, absences, overtime, and more. This task optimization contributes to improving the performance of each individual, and therefore, the company’s performance.
The collection of work hours, the calculation of overtime, leave, absences and the payment of wages are now automated. All the badging data is then integrated into the software linked to the time clock: data management, time management, accounting software, etc.
All information can be easily updated and methodically prepared for labour inspection. The company can easily provide complete and structured data on employees’ working hours or detailed payments, whether over a short or long period of time.
Data collection of working hours is not done manually. A simple check can be made to remove any doubt if an employee believes there is an error.

In such cases, all you can do is trust in your employees
